A private lunch was held at the Yacht Club of Monaco on Friday, 9 June 2017, in the presence of HRH Princess Caroline of Hanover, in her capacity as Chairperson of the Board of Directors of the Friends of the CHPG Foundation, the Minister of Health and Social Affairs, Didier Gamerdinger and the Director of the Princess Grace Hospital, Patrick Bini.

Orchestrated by Roger Shine, Chairperson of the Strategic Committee of the Friends of the CHPG Foundation, the event was in honour of the generous donor residents who have recently supported the Princess Grace Hospital through the Friends of the CHPG Foundation.

The occasion provided an opportunity to thank and pay tribute to donor residents, including Sir Stelios Haji-loannou, Daryl Foster and Hani Farsi.

As a reminder, the aim of the Friends of the CHPG Foundation, which was founded by Sovereign Order in 2014, is to enable generous patrons to support the implementation of innovative solutions to patient care at the Hospital. It enables donors from the private sector, who so wish, to contribute actively and in a practical way to the development of innovative technologies and the acquisition of state-of-the-art equipment.

In line with the advice of donor Lord Irvine Laidlaw (absent from photo), and with the support of the Board of Directors of the Friends of the CHPG Foundation, Roger Shine reminded those present that “The association’s project would not be possible without the contribution of these successful men and women, these generous philanthropists, to whom we pay tribute today.”

Daniela Boutsen of Boutsen Design personally oversaw the table setting for the special lunch, which took place in the yacht club’s Private Dinning Room.

The fourth edition of e-HealthWorld, the Rendez-vous for e-health, research and innovation, will be held at the Fairmont Hotel from May 31 to June 1.
Under the Patronage of Prince Albert, e-HealthWorld Monaco is an exchange platform that provides an overview of technological advances in all medical disciplines.
“It is urgent that health professionals get involved because these technologies will not arrive in several years as some believe but are already present in the medical world and are experiencing an exponential development," said Dr Nahmanovici, organiser of the event.
"It goes without saying that the upheavals that affect the world of health, as well as other areas, will lead to a re-foundation of the foundations of our society. The debates require the participation of the general public. That's why e-Healthworld Monaco is bringing in the first users of the healthcare system, the patient associations.”
The e-HealthWorld Monaco 2018 conference programme includes almost all the current topics in New Information Technologies and Communication (NICT) in health: Telemedicine; the role of the pharmacist in digital inter-professionality; artificial intelligence, robotics and deep-learning at the service of medicine to diagnose and operate more safely; and cognitive science.
"Practitioners and researchers from four medical specialties will come together to consider NICTs in their specific field of orthopedics, rehabilitation, obstetrics gynecology, and urology," Dr Nahmanovici added.

Minister of Health and Social Affairs, Stéphane Valeri, visited the Monegasque Institute of Sports Medicine (IM2S) on Thursday, January 12, to present his best wishes for 2017 to all staff and practitioners.
The visit also highlighted the new services of the institute. On December 13, 2016, the sports centre received the accreditation of the Minister of State for the establishment of beds for Continuing Care and Rehabilitation (SSR). The clinic now offers its patients the benefit of global care including post-operative follow up with a dedicated team. Patients in Monaco, and by extension those who are insured at the Caisses Monégasques, can now benefit from the SSR.
The Institute also has an immediate walk-in consultation service operating seven days out of seven. The objective of the IM2S is to allow a specialised medical examination to be carried out whatever the day of the week and to offer the possibility of surgical priority.
At the end of his visit, Minister Valeri met all the staff and practitioners during an informal reception. In welcoming new staff, he said that "IM2S is an essential part of the medical attractiveness offered by the Principality".
